Microsoft IE 11 preview

Microsoft has released a preview version of its new Internet Explorer 11 browser for Windows 7.

The pre-release browser is available now as a download from Microsoft’s website. Microsoft will use feedback on the preview version to improve the final product.

The company points out that the browser is not yet complete and so errors may occur. IE 11 will offer higher performance and better protection of users’ privacy and their computers, Microsoft says.

The new browser will be included in the update to the Windows 8 operating system due on October 18 (Windows 8.1).

When the final version for Windows 7 will be published is still unclear.
